Scrap Tire Market Participant Directory Scrap Tire Market Participant Directory | 2 Introduction SCRAP TIRE MARKET PARTICIPANT DIRECTORY SCRAP TIRE MARKET PARTICIPANT DIRECTORY | 2 INTRODUCTION Michigan’s Scrap Tire Program, managed by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) has two primary objectives: 1) to protect human health and the environment through oversight and enforcement of the state’s scrap tire (statute Part 169, Scrap Tires, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended) and 2) to support the development of markets and beneficial end uses of scrap tire products. The Scrap Tire Market Participant Directory provides a resource for municipalities and market participants in Michigan and the Midwest that supports EGLE’s dual objectives of end of life tire management and market development. The directory provides a concise listing of service providers ranging from collectors/transporters/processors to companies that generate end-use products. The directory is organized by state. DISCLAIMER Listing of companies in this directory does not imply an endorsement of a particular business nor any knowledge of a companys compliance status with state regulations.

  • Use of Waste-Tire Materials in Architectural Application in Egypt International Journal of Chemtech Research
    International Journal of ChemTech Research CODEN (USA): IJCRGG, ISSN: 0974-4290, ISSN(Online):2455-9555 Vol.9, No.12 pp 14-27, 2016 Use of Waste-Tire Materials in Architectural Application in Egypt Farrag, Nermin Mokhtar* Civil and Architectural Engineering Department, National Research Center, Egypt Abstract : With the increase in the production of the automobile, a lot of waste tire need to be disposed. Due to the reduction of available sites for waste disposal, a lot of countries forbid the disposal of waste tire rubber in landfills. Researches seek for a long time to find alternatives to the waste tire. Reusing and recycled waste tire rubber is the promising material in the Architectural Applications due to its light weight, flexibility, insulating properties, and energy absorption. There are many studies show that Egypt capable of competing within the global tires Reusing sector, the paper aims to how to improve this Sector to face its future challenges and attract Foreign Investment, many points should be considered such as improving the legislative framework, rising of awareness, developing business development service and, role of external institutionalization and financing. Keywords: tires wastes, Tires bales, sound barrier, landscaping mulch, Architectural Applications, reuse management. Introduction Recycling waste materials is not a new phenomenon, Fig.1. The reuse of solid waste can improve of environmental quality, contribute to solutions of urban issues, energy shortage, and waste disposal. Recycling provide job opportunities to the needy people, conserve finite resources and save the environment. Recycling of rubber receives less attention than other waste materials such as Paper, glass, steel cans due to its final product, quality and public acceptance, financial value, marketability, and margin of the earning.

  • Review of the Human Health & Ecological Safety of Exposure to Recycled Tire Rubber Found at Playgrounds and Synthetic Turf F
    Review of the Human Health & Ecological Safety of Exposure to Recycled Tire Rubber found at Playgrounds and Synthetic Turf Fields Prepared for: Rubber Manufacturers Association Washington, DC Prepared by: Cardno ChemRisk Pittsburgh, PA August 1, 2013 Executive Summary Increasingly, tires that reach the end of their serviceable life are processed for beneficial reuse in novel applications. Some of these include soil and surface amendments at athletic fields, playground and garden mulch, and bound surfaces at playgrounds and athletic facilities. These modern artificial surfaces reduce the likelihood of personal injury, provide uniform recreational playing surfaces, promote energy conservation, eliminate pesticide and fertilizer usage, and support waste recycling. Tires are manufactured with a variety of materials and additives to ensure optimum product safety, reliability and performance. Some tire ingredients are considered to be human health hazards at exposure levels several orders of magnitude greater than possible from contact with finished consumer products. Accordingly, athletes, parents and other stakeholders have expressed questions and concerns about the potential for adverse human health or ecological effects from the use of recycled tires in sport surface or playground materials. The purpose of this report is to evaluate the health and ecological risks associated with the use of recycled tire rubber in consumer applications, particularly playgrounds and athletic fields. In doing so, a thorough review of available literature was conducted including studies from both advocates and opponents to the use of recycled tire materials. An examination of the weight of evidence across all of the available studies was conducted to enable a comprehensive assessment of potential risk.

BestBest PerformingPerforming CustomCustom DesignedDesigned TiresTires Bill Chapman Founder Diamond Back Classics I know what you are thinking! The tires on Bill’s Corvette are not correct. It’s not a show car-it is for my enjoyment. That’s the beauty of Diamond Back-you can get what’s period correct or you can get what you like. Custom whitewalls are not a problem. I offer many correct styles for the 60’s and 70’s cars or if you want something special, just let us know. My 2009 catalog features 16 product lines from 13” to 22” and anything in between. That’s more product than all the competitor’s combined. I’m also introducing two new top end product lines-the Diamond Back MX and the Diamond Back III. Both are built in North America by Michelin, the world’s most recognized tire manufacturer. If you’re going to spend over $200 per tire why not get the very best? Prices on the rest of my products will have a small increase and some will remain unchanged. Check out my warranty. It is the most solid, easy to understand warranty in the industry. My new extended warranty for $4.75 per tire is a smart move to protect your investment. As the year of the Great Recession begins, my goal remains unchanged-build the best looking, best performing product at a fair price. Thanks for all of your support!

  • Rubber Mulches
    Linda Chalker-Scott, Ph.D., Extension Horticulturist and Associate Professor, Puyallup Research and Extension Center, Washington State University The Myth of Rubberized Landscapes “Recycled rubber mulch is an environmentally friendly, non-toxic choice for landscapes” The Myth Discarded rubber tires are the bane of waste management; according to the EPA, we generate 290 million scrap tires annually. Scrap tire stockpiles can pose significant fire hazards, such as the 1983 Virginia tire fire that burned for 9 months. Obviously finding a market for these slow-to-decompose materials is desirable, and many innovative uses have been developed, including rubberized asphalt, playground surfaces, and landscape mulches. From an engineering standpoint, crumb rubber as a soil amendment has performed favorably in reducing compaction to specialty landscape surfaces such as sports fields and putting greens. Rubber mulches are touted by manufacturers and distributors as permanent (“doesn’t decay away”) and aesthetically pleasing (“no odor” - “looks like shredded wood mulch” – “earth tones and designer colors” – “special fade resistant coating”) landscape materials. Furthermore, we are told that rubber mulch is “safe for flowers, plants and pets” (though it “doesn’t feed or house insects”) and “dramatically improves landscaping.” It seems to be an environmentally-friendly solution to a major waste disposal problem. The Reality Rubber mulches have not proved to be particularly good choices for either horticultural production or landscape uses. In comparison studies of several mulch types, rubber tire mulch was less effective in controlling weeds in herbaceous perennial plots than wood chips. Similarly, sawdust made a better mulch for Christmas tree production in terms of weed control, microbial biomass, and soil chemistry.
